6'2 270 lbs. 4.3 speed (supposedly). Count me as one of those that is very interested in seeing his return to the field...

Quote:

In his first week back since a month-long NFL suspension for violating the NFL policy on performance enhancing substances, Moch is putting a more defined slash between defensive end and SAM backer. A total of 12 pounds.

That's how much weight Moch put on while he served his suspension in the gyms of Clif Marshall (Ignition Sports) and Jim Riggs (Power3) in suburban Cincinnati. The 6-2 Moch, drafted as a 258-pound backer in the third round in 2011, says he's now at 270 pounds.

"I wanted to get more explosive at D-end," Moch said. "But I also did it maintaining my speed and I think I did that."

Just to make sure, Moch, who followed up his 4.4-second 40-yard dash at the scouting combine with a 4.31 at his University of Nevada pro day, lined up for a 40 when his suspension ended Monday at Paul Brown Stadium.

After running a 4.3, he's extremely anxious to get out there. If he can give the Bengals anything close to the rushes from end that he gave them in the preseason with a team-leading 3.5 sacks, that would make the line rotation quite interesting with a man that big and fast.

You'd have to think he'd at least have a viable speed rush from the get go. I hope he earns some reps this week and we can see how he is doing._________________

i always thought it was a risky pick because he was one of those tweener guys. but hopefully his athleticism allows him to make an impact early as he learns the back and forth positions of OLB and DE_________________

I like that he is up to 270, i'd rather he just stick at DE than try to be a tweener. It'd be different if we ran some 3-4, but we don't. Maybe try to add another 5 lbs or so ny next year._________________

The only thing that worries me is that he doesn't know how to use it yet (the extra weight). Once he adjusts, he will be a nightmare. If Geathers just holds up against the rush, we could put a line of MJ93, Adkins, Dunlap and now Moch in on long passing downs.

I would have activated him for this game, but I guess we are waiting to see who mysteriously gets injured against Miami so that they can move someone to IR.

Geathers hasn't really looked like getting any QB pressure on the outside for 2 years and more now; (see 'Villain' for details); but has looked much better stuffing the run on the inside. Maybe if he has a future in CIN, its as a back-up UT on a lot less money. I reckon its very likely that no-one looks at Geathers as a vet FA DE come March, and the question then is do we look to offer him a cheaper deal during the run up to the draft, as a back-up inside guy ?_________________" Democracy is a system where two idiots can out-vote a genius..........."

Yall remember that one time Burifict made a tackle and didn't have to leave the game? Good times.

Not sure thats right; I understand his wife reckons he flips a good burger........

You watch, no-one will sign him, he'll be sat at home on the sofa, we'll get a run of d-line injuries this time next year, and we'll re-sign him just like Crocker this year....._________________" Democracy is a system where two idiots can out-vote a genius..........."

IDear God, i hope not on the first point. We have DTs. The second point is far more likely, but again, I hope we don't get that desperate.
